Synopsis: Jessica Nagoshi is in her third year of economics at Deane University. The beautiful and intelligent coed is being groomed, along with her brother, to take control of her father’s multimillion-dollar empire. But her promising future is cut down when she’s brutally murdered in the greenhouse of her father’s vast estate.
David Cavanaugh, Boston’s most sought after defense attorney, is unwittingly forced into this high-society murder case when his young protégé James Matheson, a final-year law student at Deane, is accused of the crime. But David soon realizes that the odds are already against him. Unspoken conspiracies, corporate secrets, and betrayals lead David down a road where every ally is an enemy in disguise—and into a world where privilege means anyone can get away with murder.
